[OWW-SC] New icons for OWW Feedback and Lab Notebook

[Jason Kelly]

we might just drop the "news highlights" altogether and just use the
SC blog for that as well.  Seems like funneling more content through
the blog increases the odds that it stays fresh.  Will also help to
de-clutter the front page.

thanks,
jason
